Our Understanding, Staff Teach Our Boarding School Students a Better Way to Live

Gateway Boys Academy serves young men ages 11 to 17 who have gone off-track with life. Our military school is in the panhandle of Florida, and our facility is reachable from De Leon Springs, Florida and cities across the nation. While the program is very disciplined and structured, we believe in demonstrating the love of God to each student, surrounding him with compassionate care. A number of our staff have been in your place, either having attended a similar program themselves or having enrolled a child of their own in our military school in the past.

Boys are Transformed through Our Military School

Students start in our basic training platoon under the supervision of drill instructors. For the first months, physical training, a packed schedule, attention to neatness and chores give them structure and establish order in their lives.

At Gateway, boys begin to stop struggling against authority and begin to grow in confidence by mastering challenges that are constructive rather than their previously destructive activities. Eventually, they promote to higher levels, earning privileges and responsibilities as they move up. The trusted students are able to do off-campus sports, outreaches, and travel.

Academic Success through First-Rate Curriculum and Certified Teachers. 

Most students who were failing or falling behind not just get caught up but get far ahead. We meet all qualifications by Florida for high school graduation, and students earn diplomas when they complete our academic program. School takes place all year-round as students study at their own pace through high-quality curriculum and certified teachers. Our high standards allow credits to transfer to public institutions or to go on to college or the military.

Boys Discover a New Relationship with God, Direction and Purpose In Life

Spiritual things are important at Gateway Boys Academy. We offer to every cadet a relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to create a Godly atmosphere helpful to Christian growth. Young men attend group Bible studies, go to chapel twice weekly, and work with a counselor to complete individually assigned Bible studies meant for character development.

Family Restoration is Our Hallmark

At Gateway Boys Academy, we promote family restoration. After four months, parents begin attending weekend events for training about boundaries and effective parenting.

Most boys in our program turn away from their self-destructive behavior to a desire for serving others. If your teenage boy needs order and discipline to put his life in order, please consider Gateway.

Although it is not located in De Leon Springs, Florida, Gateway may be the kind of environment your son needs to make a change for the better. Please call or fill in our inquiry form for our boarding school today.
